After trying out the Rattlesnake Trail in the spring before and getting covered in ticks, I really wanted to try it in the winter.

Tick free but the tall grass and thorns were a bit much for some of my kids to handle.

I probably need to pick a bit easier trail for them until they get used to hiking a bit more.

The boys liked the challenge though.

They see it all as an adventure though and get bored on easy trails fast.

So if you want to avoid ticks now is the time but you might have to deal with overgrown trails and briar’s.

This trail is located North of Sheppard’s point just before the boat ramp.
